Hi reader,

When is the last time you were still?

Not (involuntarily) waiting in line.

Forget (impatiently) being forced to pause.

But actually, consciously, sitting down on your ass?

If you can’t remember, then it may be time 🫖

A close friend would talk about how our irritable moods, sudden angers, and feelings of doom and gloom might just be because we needed a nap.

Or a snack.

When I was really young, I would think my body was just a vessel to move around and do stuff.

Then something switched.

Maybe it was sex.

Maybe it was maturity.

But something switched.

And I started to see my body as something as valuable as my mind, as vulnerable as my heart, and as important as my words.

Every now and then I - and maybe even you - forget that all the pieces make up the whole.

The sorrow you carry seeps through your chest.

The trauma unspoken whispers to your shoulders.

The forgotten slight sits upon your furrowed brow.

Sitting a little longer with that cup of coffee, resting your eyes in a random moment when they feel heavy, creating a moment of solitude during the busiest day.

Any of these tiny acts can give your body a chance to be still.

And perhaps you will hear it 🧏🏾‍♀️

Worried that you need to quiet down, but don’t know how?

On BringYourWorth.tv Live, we’re giving great ways to embrace solitude, find your inner peace, and finally slow down enough to catch up to your true intentions.

Bring your questions, comments, and silence 🤫

As you’ve seen in recent BringYourWorth.tv episodes, my office has been stacked with books lately! Shortform is one of my favorite companions for understanding books quickly and remembering the highlights from classics I may have forgotten. The service goes well beyond summaries, giving serious breakdowns, analysis, arguments, and even overarching themes connecting a book to other pieces of literature. It also showcases material related to your favorite book, like popular podcasts, articles and more. Shortform is a great way to sample new books you’re curious about or to go deeper on ones you already know super well.
